Ginseng and Prepared Aconite Decoction

Chinese Prescription: Shen Fu Tang

English Translation: Ginseng and Prepared Aconite Decoction

Formula Type: Rescue Devastated Yang

Actions: Restores the yang, strongly tonifies the source qi, & rescues the qi from collapse due to devastated yang.

Indications: Cold extremities, sweating, weak breathing & shortness of breath, dizziness, an extremely pale complexion, a pale tongue, & a faint pulse that is almost imperceptible.

Contraindications: This is a very strong tonic designed for the treatment of acute conditions. It should not be administered long term. Once the yang qi has been restored & the acute stage has passed, the pattern of disharmony should be reevaluated & the formula modified accordingly. Extended use generates fire, which injures the yin & consumes the blood.
